Hello Wednesday! I really don’t feel like going to the supermarket…so, what can I pull out of the fridge to make a quick meal? Well, I’ve got some leftover Prosciutto from the other day’s Asparagus wrapped with Prosciutto and some frozen boneless chicken breasts and some root vegetables that need to be used up… What could I use that for? Hmmm..how about stuffing the chicken? And adding some Boursin that wasn’t opened on Sunday…and roasting those veggies until they’re tender and caramelized? Sounds good to me!!   Continue reading →

Don’t Throw Away That Sauce!

| Heidi

pizza4I never throw away the leftover sauces from my dishes. Even if I only have a little, they are like little flavor bombs to be used in all sorts of ways. Today’s lunch consisted of Naan bread topped with sauces from last week. I reserve them in little containers and freeze them to be recreated another day. No waste! When you put love into your food, throwing away a great sauce is like throwing away something you treasure. Just for this reason, you will see me finding creative ways to serve up that little morsel of goodness.

There are a million and one ways to cook chicken…I think there are more chicken recipes than any other recipe! I try to serve it at least once or twice a week; chicken breasts one night and dark meat another. And since there are so many ways to cook it we don’t have to have the same chicken over and over again. But some recipes stick with you more than others. Like this one! Chicken thighs and drumsticks seasoned, roasted then slathered with bbq sauce. Moist & juicy! Who doesn’t like that? Served with a fabulous salad made with mixed greens, dried cranberries, feta & caramelized walnuts topped with an incredible Balsamic Vinaigrette…Let me know if you like them too! Enjoy!

baked eggs 3

Happy Easter and good morning!!! This morning I’m up early to make baked eggs… I call them Maria’s Eggs, because the first time I ever had baked eggs was at my brother and sister-in-law’s house. They were yummy and ‘my favorite’, simple. I loved the concept of baking the egg, so I started to play with all the different ways I could serve this little gem. Recipes like this can be made in so many different ways once you have the basic premise. Perfect for a morning like today Easter Sunday.  Continue reading →

Sauteed Scallops in Herb Butter with WonTon Ravioli

wrapped wonton

Sea Scallops have to be in my top five for ‘favorite’ ocean fare. I love how sweet and tender they are, but most of all I love how easy and quick they are to prepare. It seems no matter what you pair them with they are elegant and sophisticated. So tonight I paired them with my won ton ravioli. Making my homemade ravioli on occasion is great, (and I will share them with you soon), but tonight I took my favorite shortcut. Continue reading →

Shrimp on Rosemary skewer

I love herbs from the garden and that is why I have two herb gardens. Sadly, I have yet to break ground this year. When I am in swing, the garden produces late spring, all summer and early fall, I have a plethora of herbs to cook with and I make sure to use them in everything. However this time of year I have to buy my herbs in the grocery store. The only problem with that is, you have to buy the amount they give you and the rest either goes bad in the refrigerator or you have to use them all… asap! I have a few tips on what and how to use your abundance of store bought herbs. Continue reading →
